BACKLIGHT

The backlight uses an EL (electro-luminescent)
panel that causes the entire display to glow for
easy reading in the dark.
The watch’s auto light switch automatically
turns on the backlight when you angle the
watch towards your face.

• The auto light switch must be turned on

(indicated by the auto light switch on
indicator) for it to operate.

• See “Backlight Precautions” for other

important information about using the
backlight.

To turn on the backlight manually
In any mode, press

B to illuminate the display for about two seconds.

• The above operation turns on the backlight regardless of the current

auto light switch on/off setting.

About the Auto Light Switch

Turning on the auto light switch causes the backlight to turn on for about
two seconds whenever you position your wrist as described below. Note
that this watch features a “Full Auto EL Light,” so the auto light switch
operates only when available light is below a certain level. It does not
turn on the backlight under bright light.

• Be sure to wear the watch on the outside of your left wrist while using

the auto light switch.
